What should cyclosporine levels be?
Most individuals display optimal response to cyclosporine with trough whole blood levels 100 to 400 ng/mL. Preferred therapeutic ranges may vary by transplant type, protocol, and comedications. Therapeutic ranges are based on specimens drawn at trough (ie, immediately before the next scheduled dose).Click to see full answer. Keeping this in consideration, when should cyclosporine levels…
Most individuals display optimal response to cyclosporine with trough whole blood levels 100 to 400 ng/mL. Preferred therapeutic ranges may vary by transplant type, protocol, and comedications. Therapeutic ranges are based on specimens drawn at trough (ie, immediately before the next scheduled dose).Click to see full answer. Keeping this in consideration, when should cyclosporine levels be taken?For cyclosporine or tacrolimus trough-level monitoring, blood should be drawn 12 h after the last dose (i.e., immediately before the next dose).Similarly, what kind of drug is cyclosporine? Cyclosporine belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants. It works by slowing down your body’s defense system (immune system) to prevent your body from rejecting a transplanted organ, further damaging your joints (in rheumatoid arthritis patients), or further damaging your skin (in psoriasis patients). Keeping this in consideration, what is cyclosporine toxicity? Background: Cyclosporine is the backbone of immunosuppression in kidney transplantation. However, it leads to multiple toxic effects, most of which are dose-dependent. In this respect, the quality of renal functions is undoubtedly linked to cyclosporine drug levels.What should your Prograf level be?A level of 5.3 is in the general range for Prograf, but should be interpreted by the transplant physician caring for the patient.
